Why BKS Hoot Night?

This blog is intended, first off, as my small tribute to my esteemed guru and teacher, Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, and as a thank you to all the additional generous and gifted teachers who have invested in cultivating me as a teacher and as a student. Anything correct or of value in this blog comes from them. The errors, however, are all mine.

Secondly, this is a place for me simultaneously commemorate my 20th year of practice while consolidating all my notes on what I have learned about yoga in these 20 years.

It is purely for my own reflection and review, and not intended as a teaching tool, a diagnostic or prescriptive for anyone else's practice or therapeutic needs, and it especially is not intended as a compendium of Iyengar Yoga. It is a compendium of my one small teensy sliver of understanding of a much much larger art and practice.
